WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — West Hartford will be having its final Park Road Parade this weekend, marking the end of a 25 year run.

The event shows off the community’s favorite clubs, organizations, schools, churches, bands, businesses and more. Organizers say that it’s bittersweet to wrap things up this year.

“The parade was only intended to be one year, and it was supposed to be a celebration at the completion of a two-year road reconstruction project,” Renee McCue, a public relations specialist for the town of West Hartford, said.

Dozens of groups are expected to participate on Saturday and thousands are expected to attend.
